The scribe who always had a smile on his face had no smile at all at this moment. His starry eyes twinkled and he was silent. He just nodded slightly. Seeing his admission, the old woman took a step forward in a daze, but was stopped by someone beside her.
Xiaozhu stretched out his hand to stop: "Mother Liu, don't go forward, the turbid air is dangerous. Although I don't know what happened back then, but Brother Bai Ze definitely didn't mean to hurt you."
Her clear voice fell into the old man's ears, and Aunt Liu was startled again. She turned to look at Xiaozhu: "You...you are..."
"Mother Liu, I'm Xiaozhu." The girl lowered her amber eyes and said softly.
Aunt Liu was shocked when she heard this. She stretched out her withered hand, grabbed Xiaozhu's white and slender fingers, and held them tightly: "Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu, I... I'm sorry for you and your father! Mo Xiucai... no
, Mo Xianren, he, is he okay?"
After hearing the words "your dad", Xiaozhu just wanted to chuckle and defend, but the words "Is he okay?" made her heart twist again, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment. On the other hand, Lin Baize, who was on the side, saw her mother actually talking to Yue Xiaozhu.
As they met each other, they became more suspicious, confused, and kept asking: "What on earth is going on? Mom, what on earth is going on!"
"Everything happened because of me," Young Master Xiaobai said slowly, "Ten years ago, under the orders of Master Taiyi, I stepped out of Kunlun Mountain for the first time and came to Pingcheng to slay demons, but I was accidentally bewitched.
I was injured. The demonic poison in my body transformed into my original shape. Fortunately, I was saved by Grandma Liu. I was still young at that time and had just left Kunlun. I was not familiar with the world, so I only knew that I wanted to repay Grandma Liu for saving my life. At the right time, I saw Liu.
Grandma couldn't sleep at night, missing her child who died young, so she read his mind and transformed into a child..."
Tears flashed in Nanny Liu's eyes, and she shook her head and said: "It's all my fault, blame me for being stupid! You obviously wanted to help me and accompany me, but I regarded you as a bad monster and almost killed you..."
Hearing this, Xiaozhu finally pieced together the past events of the past: Bai Ze wanted to repay his kindness, and when he saw that Aunt Liu missed her dead child, he transformed into Gangzi and wanted to comfort Aunt Liu's love for her son. But for some reason, Aunt Liu
He discovered the clues and stabbed Bai Ze's heart with a sharp weapon. When Bai Ze was about to die, his divine power declined and his demonic power surged, so he was controlled by the demonic poison in his body. In addition, this place was already extremely yin-qi,
There was a faint turbid air in the air, and Bai Ze finally got mad and turned into a ferocious beast, almost leveling the small town...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, feeling that things in the world are impermanent, and everything seems to have a certain destiny.
I heard Grandma Liu continue to speak: "...Later, I asked my husband and the master, and I found out that you are Bai Ze, a mythical beast of Kunlun Mountain. You have spiritual knowledge and can know what people are thinking, so
Only then will you know what Gangzi looks like... Blame me, blame me for not being clear at the time. Not only did I wrongly blame you, but I also hurt you. Even Mo Xiucai, who defended us and protected the town, was forced to leave by us...
…”
As she spoke, the old grandma shed tears again and again. She couldn't help raising her sleeves and wiping the red corners of her eyes: "My knife stabbed me so deeply, and you were injured by Immortal Mo. I thought you wouldn't survive... these things
Over the years, I have been regretting it so much..."
Before she finished speaking, the shocked Lin Baize couldn't help but interjected: "Mom, you named me 'Bai Ze' and raised this lamb in memory of this monster?"
Aunt Liu nodded with tears in her eyes. She gently raised the back of her son's head and said lovingly: "My son, I send you to the Shifang Palace because I want you to study more, learn more about Taoism, and distinguish right from wrong. Don't be as old as my mother."
Confused."
Lin Baize tightened his mouth, turned his head to one side, lowered his eyes to the ground, and said no more. Aunt Liu patted her son's shoulder gently, then looked at Young Master Xiaobai, and said with tears of joy: "That's great, little one.
Bai, it’s good that you’re fine. Otherwise, I won’t be at peace in my life until I die... How have you been in these years?"
Young Master Xiaobai's starry eyes turned, he smiled slightly, and nodded gently. But Lu Ling, who was beside her, suddenly realized, she clapped her hands suddenly, and said: "I understand! According to this, after you were seriously injured ten years ago, Xiaobai, you didn't...
Instead of going back to Kunlun Mountain, you went into the cold abyss and icy gorge to hide away from the world! No wonder you didn’t want to come out no matter how hard I dragged you. If I hadn’t mentioned Immortal Lord Mobai, you would have planned to hide there for the rest of your life.
!”
"That's right," Young Master Xiaobai smiled calmly and said slowly, "I was controlled by the evil poison and injured innocent people. I was speechless to see Master come back to life. This is one. Second, although I have no ability to discern the mind, but
If I can't understand human affairs and cause trouble to others, what's the use of my spiritual powers?"
Xiaozhu exclaimed: "So Brother Bai Ze, did you inflict this wound on your forehead yourself? Did you deliberately injure yourself just to get rid of this ability to see into people's hearts and hear their heart sounds?"
For a moment, Xiaozhu felt that her mind was full of thoughts and emotions: she recalled that when she first met Bai Ze, he was a high-spirited, kind and gentle young man. At that time, he loved to get along with others, and he also said to her
There are many anecdotes about the Kunlun Mountains. However, for more than ten years, that gentle and kind-hearted young man has lived alone in the cold pools and icy streams, alone and separated from each other. He hated his own spiritual powers, and even
He did not hesitate to harm himself. He read all the books and stories in the world, but did not want to interact with many people. If Lu Ling hadn't accidentally mentioned Master Mo Bai, he might still be alone and silent for hundreds of years. Even if he
In order to repay his master's kindness, he decided to leave the mountain. He was no longer the enthusiastic young man he used to be. He always talked nonsense and seemed to be laughing and joking, playing in the world, but he just put on a smile on his face, smiling on his lips, but he didn't
Into the eyes, not in the heart...
"Hey, Xiaobai," Lu Ling muttered dissatisfiedly, "I think you are even better than that opera actor in the Liyuan. It's so hard to hide it from me! No wonder you know the formula for refining the Qiankun Cauldron and lied to me that it was a book
As you can see from above, you are really good at pretending!"
Young Master Xiaobai raised the corners of his lips, making a faint arc, and heard him say slowly: "In the past, I intended to help others, but it almost led to lifelong regret. I don't know if I am walking with you, whether my actions will be
Will it mess up the life chart, and what kind of cause and effect will it bring. Therefore, I won’t take action, I won’t say much, I will stand by and watch, but I will wait and see if the cause and fate will happen.”
At this point, he paused, turned to look at Aunt Liu, and said with a smile: "However, today, when I meet an old friend again, I know that even if people's hearts are unpredictable, goodwill can still be achieved; even if the cause and effect
It's hard to balance, a real man is in the world, he does things and doesn't do things, it's all about his heart. Lin Baize, please take good care of your mother, I will fill the cracked and turbid air."
Without waiting for anyone to stop him, Young Master Xiaobai recited all the previous "Bone Suppression" curses in a clear and clear voice. In an instant, a strong wind blew up, dust filled the sky, and a dazzling golden color suddenly burst out from his scarred forehead.
Guanghua.
The golden stream of light couldn't stop wandering, creating ripples and golden waves between the sky and the earth. The flying stones and sand were also dyed by the spiritual light. The golden dust swirled all over the sky, actually suppressing the black demonic energy soaring into the sky, foot by foot, inch by inch,
Under the collision of spiritual light, the black mist continued to shrink, and finally lost to the divine power and was buried in the cracks in the ground.
The flowing light is like a butterfly, flying gracefully, standing in the bright light, standing on the cracks of turbid air. Young Master Xiaobai took out the jade flute from his sleeve, tapped the flute on his palm, and chanted loudly:
"The wind laughs softly, the clouds are invisible, the dust is stained, the heart is scarred and the heart cannot be calm. Farewell, everyone."
After that, he smiled calmly at everyone. In an instant, the light dissipated, and night fell again. Young Master Xiaobai had turned into a stone statue, standing there quietly. But under his feet, the crack that should have been faintly emitting turbid air had already
It is eliminated without trace.
The gentle breeze slowly lifted up the last trace of golden sand, dancing in the stream of light, gradually dimming, and finally disappearing into the night.
The night was dark and the moon was bright. The small town fell into a deep night dream, and everything was quiet and peaceful. Only the cries of night insects made it even more quiet.
Seeing all this, Xiaozhu lowered his eyes and couldn't bear to look at the lifeless stone statue. Gui Haiming glanced coldly, knowing that she was in a serious mood, so he stretched out his big palm and quietly pressed her delicate shoulders. Lu Ling was dumbfounded and said slowly.
: "How...how is this...why do we have to sacrifice people? Isn't there any other way to plug this crack?"
"Bai Ze, as a Kunlun beast, has extensive knowledge and understands the principles of nature. If there were other ways, how could he choose the 'Bone Suppression' technique?" Bi Fei slowly shook his head, he sighed with regret, and then said comforting words, "Life
You can't live up to your expectations once, but you should be honest in your heart. Bai Ze also followed his heart, so don't be too sad."
Lin Baize was stunned and speechless for a long time. He could only put his arms around his adoptive mother's shoulders, pull her into his arms, and let her tears soak his clothes.
"Oh, I say, you all have such sad faces. If passers-by see you, you will be considered to be crying in mourning."
Suddenly, a clear and smiling voice broke the quiet night. Everyone was shocked and looked around, only to see the little lamb following at the feet of Grandma Liu, raising his head and using his big black eyes.
His eyes looked at everyone. In his black eyes, the light flashed, and there was a faint sly smile.
"Xiaobai?" Lu Ling screamed, "Didn't you use that bone suppressor and turn into stone?"
"Haha," the little lamb chuckled, "If an ordinary person uses the bone-suppressing technique, he will definitely become a fossil of flesh and blood, and his spirit and form will be destroyed. But I am Kunlun Baize, an ancient divine beast, how can I be equal to a mortal? Although I think
Bones and blood serve as a barrier, and while the spiritual consciousness can still be transferred, it will temporarily attach itself to this little guy. As long as he practices for another hundred years, he can transform again."
Lin Baize let out a sigh of relief. The corners of his mouth twitched. He glanced at the little lamb with his slender eyes and muttered: "Hey, since there is a way to avoid death, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Hey, Lin Baize, what do you mean by this?" Seeing Lin Baize's matter-of-fact look, Lu Ling couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Young Master Xiao Bai, "Do you think Xiao Bai's physical body is easy to cultivate? People have abandoned it for hundreds of years.
Xiuwei, it’s fine if you don’t even say a word of thanks, now you blame Xiao Bai for not saying so earlier?”
Lu Ling's words made Lin Baize immediately lose his face and became silent. Seeing his wretched expression, Lu Ling lowered his head and glanced at the medicine bottle and banknote in his hand. This man with a clear distinction between love and hate
The female warrior strode forward, returned them all to Lin Baize, and said loudly:
"You guys, although you sometimes like to take advantage of yourself and will never take action if you can shrink your head, which makes you look like a thief, you are still very reliable at critical moments! You are also a man! Here, take these medicinal materials and money, you
Give it to your mother yourself."
When Lu Ling said this, Lin Baize's face became a little confused. The corners of his eyes twitched. He opened his mouth. After all, he didn't say anything. He just silently accepted the things Lu Ling handed over. Bi Fei saw the embarrassment of his old friend.
In his eyes, he coughed lightly, changed the topic, and came to Lin Baize's rescue: "Thanks to Senior Bai Ze's help, the turbid air of the earth's veins was sealed. Aunt Liu, don't worry, after dawn, the evil poison of the people in the city will gradually be resolved, and from now on it will be better."
There will be no more strange things about monsters."
While caressing the lamb's back, Grandma Liu smiled through her tears and said to everyone: "Thank you, thank you so much, hero. It's almost dawn, I'll cook porridge for you."
"No need to bother, auntie, we have important things to do, so we can't stay for a long time," Bi Fei declined politely. He turned to look at Lin Baize and said slowly, "Brother Lin, our identities have been exposed now, and so have you."
We know that our target is your sect’s Peeping Heaven Banner. To be honest, we have collected all the magic weapons of the other three sects, and we only need the secret treasure of Shifang Palace? The Peeping Sky Banner is to revive the Mo Bai Immortal and find Yun Shengjing’s secret treasure.
Whereabouts, and then seal Yinglong. I don’t want Brother Lin to be in trouble, I just ask you to pretend that you have never heard of this, and don’t tell the elders of your sect, and don’t ask them to strengthen their defenses."
Lin Baize twitched the corner of his mouth and avoided talking. Seeing his hesitant look, Lu Ling became angry again. She picked up the half-moon halberd, slapped the tail of the halberd on the ground, frowned and said: "You guy, you are like an elm-headed man!
At this point, do you still think that we are evil people who collude with demons and do evil? Let me tell you, just for Xiaobai to block the turbid air for you, you have to help whether you want to help or not!
Aunt Liu, please close your eyes and look away, I will knock your son out so that he cannot tell the truth."
After saying that, Lu Ling clenched her fists seriously and approached Lin Baize step by step. Aunt Liu looked at her, then at her son, and hurriedly grabbed her adopted son's sleeve and persuaded her: "My dear, Mo Xiucai, no,
Immortal Mo has helped us, so just think of it for your mother's sake, okay?"
"Mom, where are you thinking? Am I such a confused person?" Lin Baize narrowed his slender eyes. He patted his mother's wrinkled hands comfortingly and shook his head at Lu Ling, "Senior Sister Lu, calm down.
, Calm down! Wait, put away your halberd and put down your fists, I never said that I wanted to go back to Shifang Palace to report."
Lu Ling stopped when he heard the words. He saw Lin Baize looking around mischievously and seeing no one around, but he still lowered his voice and said: "You guys, please leave some way for me to escape. My junior brothers
I was patrolling nearby, and now that the turbid air has dissipated, they may have touched it back without warning. Senior Sister Lu, are you speaking so loudly, are you afraid that others won't hear you?"
While talking, Lin Baize raised his hand to signal for everyone to enter the house first. After everyone stepped into the courtyard, he poked his head at the door, looked left and right to make sure no one had seen him, then hurriedly closed the courtyard door, and then
He dropped the wooden bolt. Then he turned around, curled his lips, and said to everyone: "My mother has already spoken. Can I not help you with this favor? I know where the Peeping Sky Banner is.
, but I dare not tell you now."
"How do you say this?" Xiaozhu raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "As long as you tell us the whereabouts of the Peeping Sky Banner, we will immediately go to retrieve the treasure. Wouldn't we just cut off our relationship with you?"
"What a good thing," Lin Baize's face dropped and he said sadly, "I just ran away this time, okay! I told you earlier that the elders of the sect have gone to the coast of the East China Sea in the past few days. Master is supposed to be
I was asked to guard the camp, but as soon as I heard that there were monsters here, I couldn't help but rush out. If you steal the Heaven-Peering Flag at this time, how will I explain it when I go back? Why don't I go to see Master?"
Bi Fei thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, this is indeed difficult for you. Brother Lin, do you have another way?"
Lin Baize touched his chin and thought for a long time, then suddenly rolled his eyes, clapped his hands and said: "This is not impossible. In this way, you can wait for one more day, until my junior brothers and I return to the sect, and then..."
He explained the plan in this way and informed everyone present of the plan. After hearing what he said, Xiaozhu, Gui Haiming, and Bifei nodded in agreement, and Lu Ling even clapped his hands and smiled: "You guy, just
I know you have a lot of clever ideas, and even your own sect has been designed by you!"
"Senior Sister Lu, are you praising me or hurting me? Haven't I been forced to do this for you?" Lin Baize helplessly spread his hands and said with a sad face, "It won't be too late until Master and the elders come back.
It's that simple. Let's meet up with our junior brothers early tomorrow morning and set off immediately. By the way, you all have to put on your makeup and don't show your flaws."
An hour later, when the rooster crows and dawn breaks, the Shifangdian disciples return to the Liu Family Mansion and meet up with Lin Baize. Before that, Xiaozhu and others have already dressed up and prepared everything. They bid farewell to Grandma Liu and rushed as planned.
Go to the Shifang Palace. As for Young Master Xiaobai, he originally wanted to help, but because he noticed the abnormal movement of the earth's veins and was worried that the evil energy would come out again, he had to station in Pingcheng, guarding the turbid air cracks like a white-haired lamb.
